About the Item
Cat Nap on the steps captured by realist painter Will Barnet. This is more than just a preliminary study; it's polished and precise, which allows it to stand on its own. In person, it is a compelling and beautiful unified work of art. In a sense, it's more agreeable to the eye than the final version, which seems a bit disconnected.

Will Barnet
At the beginning of his career, Will Barnet was known for his figural depictions of domestic scenes. But, as he continued to stylistically develop, Barnet arrived at abstract geometric paintings far removed from his original career. A part of the Indian Space Painters group, Barnet was inspired by Native American art in creating these divergent images. Throughout his career, Barnet oscillated between representational and abstract paintings, never fully settling on one. He has received the National Medal of Arts in 2011, and his work has been displayed at the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Museum of Modern Art, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
